FCC has convened a Technical Advisory Councilto discuss the possible “sunset” of the PSTN by 2018.
Quantifying the PSTN Legacy Transition • Cord cutting is happening in a rapid pace, especially the younger segments. However, PSTN lines (overall) are also dropping organically. • As of May 2010, 23% of respondents in a study lived in a mobile-only household. • The same study also found that 37% of adults in the 18-24 and 30-34 age groups lived in a Mobile-only household.

Quantifying the PSTN Legacy Transition • Recommendations: • The FCC should take steps to prepare for the inevitable transition from the PSTN 2. The FCC should take steps to expedite the transition, with a target date of 2018 3. Provide incentives for operators to provide broadband services (that can support Voice) to rural areas and underserved America 4. Fund PSAPs so they can accelerate integration with IP/Packet network (so E911 can work with IP) 5. Realign regulatory requirements to emerging technologies 6. Assist Broadband and OTT providers by working with Security and Emergency Alarms industry associations to push for IP adoption e.g. NFPA 72 7. Bring the National Broadband Plan in alignment with the PSTN Sunset timetable and assure that adequate broadband/mobile capability is available everywhere that the PSTN is today Source: FCC
Demand for POTS • Demand for POTS is trending sharply downward. • Government is pushing RBOCs away from POTS • Government pushing a shift to Broadband
NFPA 72 Supervising Station • The next edition (2013) will see DACT* and a second technology (not two phone lines). • The current (and perhaps final) version of NFPA 72-2013 requires a 6 hr DACT test rather than 24 hrs. • The 2016 Edition will probably “sunset” DACT altogether. • Digital Cellular, Two-Way radio, Private One-Way Radio and IP will survive as your only communications alternatives. *If you install DACT
